Pinochet dies
Cue celebrations from the left and a complete white wash of the man he overthrew Allende. My fave was the BBC calling Allende a “democratically” elected Marxist. The bugger made it to 91 years which is not bad you have to admit. Naturally they claim “justice was robbed” because of his death. Yeah Pinochet was a total bastard but he supported the UK when it was facing the Argies all those thousands of miles away. Sure expose Pinochet’s crimes but why not expose the abuses of the predecessor as well.

Senator Barak Obama (D IL) makes his first visit to New Hampshire today. While he has not said that he will run for the Democratic nomination for President, he’s certainly making moves as if he is a contender.
The popular freshman Senator will be speaking in Manchester today to the state’s Democrats.
Should Obama decide to run, it is expected to weaken Senator Hillary Clinton’s (D- NY) bid for the White House. Though neither Obama or Clinton have said they will run in the 2008 race, many political insiders say the chances are better than even that one or both will declare soon.
In this blogger’s opinion, Obama’s chances for the 2008 nomination may not be as strong as many think, particularly with the front-loaded primary/caucus schedule. Unless he can raise a large amount of funds for a campaign, he will be at a distinct disadvantage compared to Hillary Clinton due to her large campaign fund. The front-loaded schedule gives any underfunded candidate a huge disadvantage because retail face-to-face campaigning will be impossible due to the tight schedule. Such campaigning has always helped candidates that may have been at a financial disadvantage, giving them more face recognition and a chance to let the voters know where they stand on the issues of the day. With campaigning being reduced to sound bites and ad blitzes, the candidate with the most money will be the one the voters will hear from. The other candidates will be drowned out, even if they have a better message and better ideas.

A reason to make a fortune
The announcements about the NASA plans to get to the moon and stay there fill me with a bit of sadness. I wish they had been at it for the last decade so those who are my age might stand a chance of going and living on the moon. Anyway this newest video from Virgin Galactic looks as if its an outtake from a computer game but it still makes me want to be able to afford one of the first flights. Even thought its an artist’s rendition it looks temptingly realistic and right around the corner.
Oh yes and are you shocked it came from the Flea.

Another nutty video for you to view on this Sunday. Its a rather amusing one that stars Jack Black of Tenacious D and Rock School (a favourite of both of my band, Mater and this blog) telling us about the new Tenacious D movie that has just hit the screens. The video is via those nice folks at Maxim the lad’s mag that is so beloved by many men. I am learning from various places that there are women who like Maxim too and read their boyfriends/husbands copies of the mag. Anyway please enjoy the video below and have a good laugh.
